EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Wheelwright" showcases the intricate world of manual craftsmanship and the bustling industry it represents. The image, part of a private collection, captures the essence of a wheelwright's trade with remarkable detail. In this scene, skilled workmen can be seen diligently crafting wheels using an array of specialized tools. A sawing horse provides support as they expertly shape wooden felloes with chisels and splitting axes. Nearby, a block serves as a chopping block for precise cuts while a tire drill stands ready for its purpose. The wheelwrights' workshop is filled with various implements essential to their occupation. From vices to gouges, adzes to gimlets, each tool plays its crucial role in creating sturdy and reliable wheels that will withstand time and wear. Amidst this industrious atmosphere are several animals - horses that symbolize both transportation and power in this era. Racehorses, ponies, shire horses, stallions - all represent different facets of equine life within the context of wheel-making. Beyond the realm of animals lies another fascinating aspect: insects. Oil beetles scuttle alongside sexton beetles and blister beetles on this print's periphery – perhaps hinting at nature's presence even amidst human labor. This enchanting artwork not only pays homage to the skillful profession but also offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era industries where dedicated artisans transformed raw materials into functional works of art – wheels that would propel carriages
